There’s a large thread about this on Arcade Otaku you should read.

Finally got around to putting in the last couple of little touches to my custom cabinet a few weeks ago.
So consequently, finally got around to taking/editing some additional pictures. Here are the details.

FrankCastleAZ: I think I found what you’re talking about but that’s a bit too fancy for what I’m looking for. Plus they’re in UK, which doesn’t help me - I’m in the southwest U.S.

sying: I’ll check those out. Probably too high for my candy cabs but it may be good for the American woody style I just picked up. Thanks.

Get some “Jeff” from Ikea. They are cheap, and have back support for longer gaming sessions.

1285

i would love t get a candy or a viewlix but i live in ohio and shipping is expensive (also college does not help in the money being available)

1286

I have and use the same ones, although it can feel a bit flimsy. get chair pads while you’re at it.

1287

Great cabinets!

A quick question, does anyone know what the wait time is currently on a “Kraylix” cab?

1288

I like how clean you have it on the inside. You should probably go further and front-mount that mini amp so you can control your volume without reaching in.

1289

Just got this beast in the game room… My back is killing me! Traded a friend a cab for this.

Not a Tekken fan at all, but I got some X Tekken running in it!

1290

Always did like the way the Tekken 5 cabs looked. The arcade I used to go to always had a problem with the card solenoid. (IE People throwing tokens inside of it)

1291

I always thought Tekken cabs were standup, is this custom made?

1292

The dedicated Tekken 5 cabs are adjustable. They can go from standing to sitting. Pretty damn awesome.

1293

Is it easy to switch from sit-down to stand-up? Is it Tri-sync? The thing I didn’t care for was the monitor bezel was grey. Felt like someone Mounted an old TV t an awesome cab.

1294

I agree, I’m thinking about spraying it Flat Black, to match the rest of the cab, but I may eventually sell/trade it so I’m not sure.

It takes 2 people to raise or lower it based on the weight of everything. One person to lift, the other to add the bolts/risers.

This monitor is VGA only, not Tri Sync. Perfect for my 360 games!

Found an effing GEM in a small Alabama arcade…Got it for a sweet deal too…

Hmmm Images seem to not be working… Anyways, I found a really nice capcom Impress cab in an Alabama arcade. Got it for a great price too.

Which 32 inch display are you guys using in your Vewlix clone? It’s impossible to find the L32X1 :frowning:

1298

Turning a candy cab into a deer hunting game is an abomination.

1299

It really was… Glad I am turning it back to a CPS2 cab.

Anyone here ever try one of those jamma to vga converters? IMO we are at the point where every arcade collector is hoarding shit. Can’t track down a large monitor at all.
